We use embedded R in production in a way some other companies would use Python and I can say having a better compiler would definitely help. Even if most people use R interactively, having contributers working on compiler has many positive

Fun story. My first computer too. Got it from my uncle without any manuals, we spend a whole afternoon writing down a code of a game from a magazine letter by letter. We thought we will just press the "Start" functional key on the

There are still several areas where R beats Python: tabular data crunching, data analysis (plotting, stats), finance (econometrics etc...) but it's less and less obvious.

Mapy.cz even used to have a great Symbian client with navigation and all, very low battery drain. It was awasome.

There are two camps in the R world - tidyverse and base-R (tiniverse). Its not a coincidence that the author gives an example from the tidyverse ecosystem. Authors and users of tidyverse value other things like consistency and new features

I see. But I think after demeaning X, beta0 will just have a special meaning... log odds of the average case. Nothing more.

You don't want to demean your dependent (response) binary variable. So you almost always want to keep beta0 to control for any imbalance in your dependent var.

Also vim editing is restricted to editor window in the current session. So you can't paste from registers in console or in other RStudio sessions. But its still much better experience to use RStudio markdown than Jupyter for me.
